Week 14:

Dance and Gymnastics

This week in dance and gymnastics we are introducing jumps. The toddlers will be singing the "Jump Up and Down" song and hopping like a bunny and doing frog jumps. The preschool children are learning tuck jumps, pike jumps, and straddle jumps, and playing a game with jumps as well. Both age groups are celebrating the Holidays by dancing with ribbons to Holiday music!

Rock and Rollers

This week in Rock and Rollers we are learning the "Electric Slide" and playing a gymnastics game using a dice with gymnastics tricks on it. We are also spreading some Holiday cheer by playing "FREEZE DANCE" to Holiday music and eating candy canes at the end of class!

About Me

Hello, my name is Kayla Owens and I am 19 years old. I have been with Kids R Kids since June, 2008 and I have worked with every age group. Right now I am teaching a dance and gymnastics class to the toddlers and preschoolers and a class called Rock and Rollers to the school aged children after school for two days a week. I really have a passion for dance and gymnastics because I was a cheerleader and a gymnast for 9 years and practically lived at the gym. I also love working with children and I plan to make a career out of it. I went to Miami University for a semester in the fall last year and I plan on going back there in the winter and majoring in Early Childhood Education.
